Odell Beckham Jr. is due for a monster contract extension in the near future.

FOXBOROUGH – DeAndre Hopkins’ lucrative contract extension with the Houston Texans, signed Thursday, puts into perspective just how rich Odell Beckham Jr. will become on his next deal.

Hopkins, 25, signed a five-year extension for $81 million ($16.2 per year), including a whopping $49 million guaranteed. The Texans receiver has 317 catches for 4,487 yards (14.2 average) and 23 touchdowns in four NFL seasons. Beckham, who doesn’t turn 25 until Nov. 5, has 288 catches, 4,122 yards (14.3 average) and 35 touchdowns in just three seasons.

Beckham, who hasn’t practiced or played since spraining his left ankle on Aug. 21 in Cleveland, did light work on the field pre-game on Thursday night but sat out, as did every healthy starter with the exception of free safety Darian Thompson. Beckham would not respond to a request for an interview after the game.

The most noteworthy player who sat out was rookie defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson, confirming he likely is set to start Week 1 in Dallas with veteran Jay Bromley hobbled by a sprained left knee. Veteran running back Shane Vereen, meanwhile, strangely received significant playing time instead of resting.

HELP FOR HOUSTON

The Giants pledged $1 million dollars to Houston’s Hurricane Harvey relief efforts for Americares, the American Red Cross, and the Houston Food Bank.

The Mara and Tisch ownership families are making the contribution on behalf of the organization’s players, coaches and staff. The Giants also ask fans to text HARVEY to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross Hurricane Harvey relief.

ALL DAY ALDRICK

Aldrick Rosas blasted a 48-yard game-winning field goal at the buzzer in the Giants’ 40-38 win, presumably to win the kicking job over veteran Mike Nugent. Rosas, 22, an undrafted rookie out of Southern Oregon, was still full of adrenaline coming off the field after his big kick, walking with a determined gait to the locker room. Punter Brad Wing joked, “What a hold.” But Rosas appeared to separate himself in a tight competition.

“Walking out there I was, ‘OK, this is gonna be 1-for-1,’ I don’t remember anything I’ve done in the past,” Rosas said. “I wasn’t thinking after the kick or anything. I was in the moment as much as I can be, and it felt good.”

A LOOK AT THE FUTURE

Rookie QB Davis Webb, the third-round pick, engineered the game-winning drive by completing 4-of-6 passes for 45 yards in 44 seconds. Ben McAdoo said it was “good to see the young quarterback go out and move the team down the field” at the end.

Webb leaned heavily on tight end Matt LaCosse for 10- and 11-yard completions at the end. LaCosse broke out with five catches for 60 yards and two TDs, pushing from the fringe of the tight end battle into the thick of it.

“He’s a mismatch,” Webb said of LaCosse, an undrafted Illinois product. “He’s bigger, faster (than a lot of tight ends). He’s agile. He’s a great route runner, blocks well and works hard.”

LaCosse is battling tight ends Will Tye and Jerell Adams for one roster spot. Tye caught four passes for 48 yards but fumbled his first reception. Adams caught one for five yards.

FULL BACKS

McAdoo kept lamenting last year that he didn’t have a fullback. Well, he has one now. Shane Smith, an undrafted free agent signing out of San Jose State, should make this team after big blocks on a Shaun Draughn 1-yard TD run and an Orleans Darkwa 21-yard rip. Smith is hardnosed and physical and athletic, all the traits that McAdoo values at any position, especially the man opening holes in the run game. Draughn, the journeyman vet, bulldozed and deked his way to 54 yards on 14 carries plus the TD.

NOTES AND NOTES AND NOTES AND …

Defensive end Kerry Wynn intercepted Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown … oft-injured veteran linebacker J.T. Thomas played aggressively with four tackles and a forced fumble recovered by Stansly Maponga. The Giants are thin at linebacker and a healthy Thomas would help … Romeo Okwara, a defensive end as a rookie, now is playing strong side linebacker to help the Giants address an area of weakness. Okwara played linebacker in a 3-4 defense his first two years at Notre Dame … Backup left tackle Chad Wheeler was excellent, including giving Geno Smith tons of time on his touchdown pass, and has done all he can to make the team … defensive tackle Robert Thomas recorded a sack … Travis Rudolph led all wide receivers with three catches for 46 yards.
